"After thoroughly benchmarking the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, two basic concepts started to emerge. At standard game settings and lower resolutions, the Radeon 9800 Pro wasn't really taxed, and the CPU and memory subsystem just couldn't push the juice fast enough to make use of the faster clock speeds. Once we hit the higher resolutions, separation occurred, and the Radeon 9700 Pro started loosing more ground to the Radeon 9800 Pro. The final tests, involving anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, showed the Radeon 9800 Pro in its best light, as the added power came in very handy when all the graphical bells and whistles were enabled."
